162 Bay 32nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

162 Bay 32nd Street is a three-unit, three-story residential building constructed in 1965, currently owned by Kwong Yiu Chu and located in the Gravesend neighborhood of Brooklyn. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most significant being a mold complaint in July 2019 that was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though no violations were found.

That same month, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding various maintenance issues including electrical wiring, plumbing (bathtub/shower), and window frame problems, all of which were subsequently closed. In 2020, there was a rodent-related complaint that brought in the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though this was closed as it followed an earlier complaint; however, follow-up rodent inspections conducted in August 2020 passed. The building has been subject to regular compliance checks regarding bedbug reporting, with four consecutive violations issued between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though records show no actual infestations during these reporting periods.

The most recent bedbug report from May 2024 covering November 2022 to October 2023 indicates zero infested units, and previous reports from 2023 and 2021 showed the same clean record. While the building has had some maintenance issues in the past, particularly in 2019, recent years have shown improvement in both pest management compliance and the absence of documented infestations or major maintenance complaints. The most recent housing maintenance code complaints and violations have been primarily related to administrative compliance rather than actual health or safety concerns.
